What Is A Masseter Muscle?
The masseter muscles are a group of muscles that are found back of your jaws. You can easily feel them yourself if you clench your jaws firmly.
With constant work out you give to your masseter muscle, they eventually bulk up, grow in size and become noticeably enlarged.
Too much growth of your chewing muscles also results in wide, boxy jaws in both men and women. Moreover, upon teeth clenching, some patients also complain of headaches, facial pain and sore jaws.
Masseter Botox for Jawline Slimming
While jaw reduction surgery or ‘jaw shaving’ (surgical intervention) was the only and most popular procedure worldwide, especially among the Asian population with square jawline, it also carried many unwanted costly side effects.
Today, Masseter Botox is a very popular treatment that involves a series of injections of Botox (botulinum toxin) in each of your masseter muscle to relax them by blocking the nerve signals. Jaw Botox reduces the size of the masseter muscle.
As soon as Botox kicks in, each of your overactive muscle shrinks, hence, giving a narrower and slimmer appearance of the lower jaws.
Besides jawline slimming, Masseter Muscle Botox also reduces:
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) symptoms
- Migraines Botox / tension headaches
Masseter Muscle Botox Procedure
After a successful completion of your consultation at CosmeDocs and an in-depth facial analysis by an aesthetic practitioner, begin your 15-minute jawline reshaping procedure.
It is very important to understand that Jawline Slimming Botox is meant to shrink the size of your enlarged masseter muscle and not the bone structure of your face.
- After cleansing, numbing and marking the injection sites, the practitioner will inject Botox in masseter using tiny needles called ‘invisible needle’. The number of units for the treatment varies from patient to patient and is determined by the doctor.
- During the procedure, there may be slight discomfort or a ‘pinched feel’ in your skin, but that is all there is to it.
- Following the botulinum toxin injection, the doctor gently massages the treated area to help settle the Jaw Botox and to reduce chances of any bruising and swelling.
Botox for Facial Contouring
Botox masseter injections not only helps tapers off the wide lower jaw in the patients but also indirectly helps bring out the ‘hidden contours’ of their faces.
A broad jawline, in men and women, thus, may not allow the cheek bones to reach their full potential. Nevertheless, it is with masseter muscle Botox that facial balance is achieved by enhancing the jaw and cheek area.
Therefore, a correct balance of all the facial features is crucial for an attractive visage regardless of the gender.

Causes Of a Wide Face
Enlarged Jaw Masseter Muscle

Adipose Tissue (Fat)
Excess adipose maybe the issue. This can dissolved using liposuction or small PDO Threads (not cogs) around the jawline and chin area.
Loose Sagging Skin
With ageing the face volume depletes and skin may sage. Advanced non-surgical skin or face lifting procedures utilise dermal fillers or PDO Threads

What is the difference between Jawline Botox and Jawline Fillers?
Jawline Botox (botulinum toxin) and Jawline Fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments that are aimed at enhancing your facial profile. The procedures are carried out by an experienced doctor at CosmeDocs after a thorough facial assessment of the patient.
Jaw Botox injection is meant to relax your overactive muscles that are involved in chewing (masseter hypertrophy). It helps to shrink the size of the jaw muscle also known as masseter muscle hypertrophy, in a matter of a few weeks without the need of any surgery.
Jaw Fillers, on the other hand, helps to restore the volume along the jawline where contour and definition has been lost due to age. Many young patients, too, prefer jawline fillers to soften a square appearance and get a non-invasive chiselled facelift in minutes.
Usually, men and women can benefit from both the aesthetic treatments at the same time if they desire to instantly improve their facial balance. However, a prior detailed consultation is crucial before signing up for Botox treatment and non surgical jaw enhancement.
Will I have problems speaking and chewing my food after jaw botox injections?
In a word, no. The non-surgical jaw reduction treatment partially relaxes your masseter muscles, causing them to be less active. As a result, your bulky chewing muscle shrinks (masseter muscle hypertrophy) in just a few weeks. However, after chewing, you may experience slight fatigue around the muscle area, but this is merely a momentary event that will subside, usually within a week.
To conclude, a masseter Botox injection will not affect your speech or eating activity in any way. On the other hand, your unbearable jaw pain is significantly relieved.
Does Jawline Botox Hurt?
Botox in masseter is not all painful for the most patients. The reason behind this is that at CosmeDocs, experts usually use a skin numbing agent before injecting Botox (botulinum toxin) to avoid any possible discomfort.
Moreover, we use very tiny needle during the procedure to minimise any painful experience.
Many patients report a mere pinch or prick during the Botox injections and feel slight soreness immediately after the procedure. Nevertheless, that sensation usually goes away on its own with or without icing the treated areas.
